Looking for a desent pair of binos for around
350.00.Something compact for ground hunting and stalking.Any ideas????
Look at vortex and their new line of optics for 2011, hard to beat their service and vip warranty.
Second vote for vortex optics.
Nikon makes a good quality 8x32 compact in their Monarch series. Give it a check. They now have their: "Forever Warranty" Good Luck
Vortex! Best value for the money
Heh same here...after studying features and quality for $$$ I bought the Vortex Diamondbacks and I'm very satisfied....
I have a pair of Burris signatures that i got a few years ago.They are 8x42. i really like them and they seem to last well.
I would second the Nikon Monarch series
For that price range I would also look at the Vortex glass.
Good luck
8x30 swarovski's are hard to beat. they will give a lifetime of service.
you get what you pay for
Leupold Yosemite 6X30 or 8X30 are very clear, with great depth of field (deer POP out at you), field of view(wide-angle) and affordable. I recommend the 6X. If these were made when I bought my Docter Optic 8x32 BGAs I'd have saved a bunch.
Vortex with their lifetime warranty
vortex look at eagleoptics.com i bought a 6.5x32 love them great field of view. $165
I have used Wind River compacts which are imported by Leupold.Do not know who makes them buy have been happy with mine for 15 years plus
Nikon Monarch's get top ratings and can be had for the $ you mentioned.
I have Leopold 8x (Katmais? I think) I really like them...
Leupold Mohave in 8X42...excellent glass.
